One of the best fast bowlers in the world at present, Bumrah has not had the best of campaigns for Mumbai Indians this season. He has managed only 12 wickets in 13 matches for the team at an average of 29.83 but has managed to maintain a decent economy rate of 7.25.

The poor form of the likes of Bumrah, skipper Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan among others affected Mumbai Indians' campaign this season as the five-time champions got off to the worst possible start. Mumbai Indians lost a record eight matches in a row at the start of the season before becoming the first team to be knocked out of the playoffs.

Mumbai Indians have just one game left to play this season and will lock horns with Delhi Capitals on Saturday (May 21) to bring an end to their nightmarish campaign in IPL 2022.
